OUTWARD BOUND JUNIOUR
LEADERSHIP AND TEAM BUILD-
ING COURSE 2016
The Grade 7
classes en-
deared them-
selves with
the instruc-
tors due to
their empathy
and team spirit. Zack Smith and
Valerie Lobo are commended for
overcoming adversity and trying
their best inspite of the harsh and
wet weather.
RENOVATED LIBRARY & READING ROOM.
They say a picture paints a thousand words.
You are proudly invited to view the new-
ly retro-fitted reading room and library.
This WONDERLAND has been an instant
“hit!” with all the pupils from infants to the
seniors owing to its fantastic design, layout
and colourful ambience! Instead of reading
on long hard benches, multi-coloured relax-
ing and soft pillows now make reading such
a pleasure for all! What with the dreamy,
fluffy, white clouds painted on the ceiling,
Letter Land characters brighten the dreamy
murals of a land from out of this WORLD.
The library shelves are designed like ani-
mals (lion & zebra), a palace balcony leads
you to the reference section. Over 600
books have so far been sourced by the SDC
with pro-
ceeds
from the
sponsored
walk and
other ac-
tivities.

D EA R P A R EN TS
A s we zip through the first half of the term, it is my fervent hope that all stakeholders
have settled in pretty well to the various expectations. By now the learners are well
acquainted with their teachers and systems.
To the teaching staff, the challenge of encouraging the “new” class to settle in for more
challenging work in the new grade, being compounded by the challenge of knowing the
learners and turning them to latest content for the grade is now history. For the parents,
the anxiety, excitement of meeting the new teacher of the child and how he/she settles in
the class, is now over.
Having started the term on solid ground, we sincerely thank our parents and friends of
Hillcrest for making this possible. Your financial support, material donations, attendance
at school functions and voluntary contributions make Hillcrest School great. Please do not
hesitate to offer your services in areas you have a passion or talent.
You are reminded to take note of the upcoming events (page 2). Enjoy the Mid Term
break with your loved ones. It is “Back to School” on Tuesday morning, the 23rd of Feb-
ruary 2016 (4pm on Monday 22 February for boarders).
Josh Mutangadura Headmaster
Grade 5M parent reps, with the full support of the other parents, lost no time in fund raising for our class projects. We have al-ready bought a printer, spare ink cartridges, 3 reams of bond paper, Cambridge Science Activity books for each child, a fan and hooks for the hats.
The children were so excited to have a part in all of this and see the things that could be bought from their own and their parent’s efforts.
We are so proud of our parents in Grade 5M. Thank you.

PREFECTS INVESTURE
After a gruelling selection process, the staff settled for 14 prefects and monitors. The investure

prefects body about good leadership. Parents support was great and we hope that these young
leaders will live up to expectation.
